NEC1 rabbit pAb

catalytic activity:Release of protein hormones, neuropeptides and renin from their precursors, generally by hydrolysis of -Lys-Arg-|- bonds.,cofactor:Calcium.,disease:Defects in PCSK1 are the cause of proprotein convertase 1 deficiency (PC1 deficiency) [MIM:600955]. PC1 deficiency is characterized by obesity, hypogonadism, hypoadrenalism, reactive hypoglycemia as well as marked small-intestinal absorptive dysfunction It is due to impaired processing of prohormones.,function:Involved in the processing of hormone and other protein precursors at sites comprised of pairs of basic amino acid residues. Substrates include POMC, renin, enkephalin, dynorphin, somatostatin and insulin.,polymorphism:Genetic variations in PCSK1 define the body mass index quantitative trait locus 12 (BMIQ12) [MIM:612362]. Variance in body mass index is a susceptibility factor for obesity.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase S8 family.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase S8 family. Furin subfamily.,subcellular location:Localized in the secretion granules.,
